A big shout out to the our Red Cross First Response Teams up north and all the work they do.
Just a little information for the readers - The proceeds from our stores across the country go directly to our First Response teams so that they can do what they do in times like those that we are facing at the moment.
If you are wanting to donate there are 3 ways:
Cash Donation on Line redcross.org.nz
Cash Donation within the store
Saleable goods donated to the stores and these sold as mentioned this going to our teams.
And of course by shopping with us you are not only helping with the course but also recycling.
Please note: We are NOT transporting donated goods to the affected areas.
Look forward to seeing you all.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️
As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.
With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
-
47.2% Yes - we like to be prepared

41.7% Nah
-
11.1% This is on my to-do list!
